Why ‘Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ Will Probably Be My Favorite Game in the Series
I am a long-time Zelda nerd. I started my love of the Hyrule universe back at the age of four with the very first The Legend of Zelda game, and I’ve played and loved every Zelda since.

One of the best gifts I received was actually a dual gift for me and my brother that we absolutely loved and played with obsessively for a long time – Pokémon Red and Blue.

'Sonic Forces' Review
I know, it's December and this game came out over a month ago, but I needed time to process this. I pre-ordered this game because I wanted to play it without bias or pre-judgement. After seeing the mixture of reviews to come out, I do feel, had I seen them all, I would have been pushed to buy this game, considering a lot of reviews came from a game development standpoint as opposed to just simple enjoyment, and that is why I am here today.

Extra Life for Some Old Games
L + Down, R + C-Right, R + C-Up, L + Right, L + C-Down, R + C-Up, L + Right, R + Down, L + Left, L + R + C-Right. I still remember the code for invincibility on Goldeneye for the N64, not the most useful thing to remember anymore but it might be soon enough.
